Music is not only a passion for Georgie Kelley, but it has also become an avenue for her to help others improve the quality of their lives.
As a musical therapist, Kelley, a Commercial Music graduate from the South Carolina School of the Arts at Anderson University, works with a variety of individuals, from students in her local school district to clients in her private practice. She also loves performing in different settings and has even authored children’s books.
Kelley, whose mother is a dance teacher who owns several dance studios, grew up around the arts. She feels blessed to have grown up in a very artsy family.
“Since I was a little girl, I and my two older sisters would travel and do different gigs singing three-part harmony. I grew up dancing. I think I was always in the arts—honestly, even when I was in the womb, I was in the dance studio,” she said. “I don’t think I would know how to live without the arts, because it’s really just who I am.”
